How To Add Chatter To Form View And Enable Tracking For Fields In Odoo 16
- Add the ‘mail’ module to the dependencies list in your module’s manifest file (e.g. manifest.py).
Add the ‘mail.thread’ model to the _inherit list in your custom model’s class definition in the models.py file
from odoo import api, fields, models
class HospitalPatient(models.Model):
_name = ‘hospital.patient’
_inherit = [‘mail.thread’,’mail.activity.mixin’]
_description= ‘Hospital Management System’
- Add the ‘message_follower_ids’ and ‘message_ids’ fields to your custom model’s view definition in the views.py file. For example:
<record id=”view_hospital_patient_form” model=”ir.ui.view”>
<field name=”model”>hospital.patient.form</field>
<field name=”model”>hospital.patient</field>
<field name=”arch” type=”xml”>
<form>
<sheet>
<group>
<group>
<field name=’name’></field>
<field name=’age’></field>
</group>
<group>
<field name=’gender’></field>
<field name=’active’ invisible=”1″></field>
</group>
</group>
</sheet>
<div class=”oe_chatter”>
<field name=”message_follower_ids” groups=”base.group_user”/>
<field name=”activity_ids”/>
<field name=”message_ids”/>
</div>
</form>
</field>
</record>
Override the ‘create’ and ‘write’ methods in your custom model’s class definition to enable tracking of changes.
